Achievements, earned credits and a map of everything you've discovered
August 2026
The app now notices what you do - and gives something back for it. Everything in this release runs on your own data, shown back to you, with credits coming only from things the server itself observed.
Your discovery map. The new Achievements page shows which parts of the app you have used, organized into four tracks - Explorer, Reader, Author and Designer - with bronze, silver and gold tiers. Progress counts in your browser and syncs to your account.
Titles. Each tier earns a title, and you can pick one to show next to your name on stories and in tables. None is the default - badges stay rare on purpose.
Earned credits. 50 one-time achievements and 5 daily quests grant credit unlocks for things the server saw you do: writing chapters, publishing, voting, commenting, saving themes and more. Unlocks never expire; redeem them into your monthly free pool whenever you like.
Discovery hints. At most one quiet hint per session points at a feature you haven't tried - dismiss it once and it never returns. Guided tours now recommend what fits your progress first.
Progress from before you signed up. If you explored the app before creating your account, the achievements page asks whether to add that progress to your map - it never merges silently.
Faster pages. The main page loads a fraction of the script files it used to (108 down to 24), which phones and slow connections feel immediately.
Admin activity view. A new aggregate view shows how features are actually used, with seed content excluded.
